Here are a couple of patches to apmd (as of FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE) to fix
a bug and add a feature necessary on my Vaio PCG-XG9.
The fix is to handle properly termination signals (currently ignored).
The feature is the -s option that lets you fake POWERSTATECHANGE when
the BIOS doesn't report it. This enables you to do fancy things like
reducing the LCD backlight brightness when you unplug the power
supply. Something like this in apmd.conf:
apm_event POWERSTATECHANGE {
exec "/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/my-preferred-power-state-change-script";
}
Here is the patch:
